Emergency Care in Kenitra
Urgent dental treatment when you need it
Severe tooth pain, a broken tooth or a knock to the mouth cannot wait. Centre Dentaire Maamora in Kenitra treats dental emergencies during opening hours: call us to be seen as quickly as possible.
When to see us
- Severe toothache, or pain that keeps you awake
- A tooth that is broken, cracked or knocked out
- Swelling of the cheek or gum (abscess)
- A crown, bridge or filling that has come loose
How the treatment works
- Calling the clinic to describe the problem and get an appointment
- Exam and, if needed, an X-ray to find the cause
- Pain relief and emergency treatment
- A plan for the definitive treatment if needed
Duration and number of visits
An emergency visit focuses first on relieving pain and usually takes 30 minutes to an hour. Completing the treatment may need further appointments.
After the treatment
- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, do not scrub the root, keep it in milk and see a dentist within the hour
- Swelling with fever, or trouble swallowing or breathing: go to a hospital emergency department straight away
- Do not put aspirin on the gum; take a painkiller as directed on the leaflet
Frequently asked questions
What if the clinic is closed?
Outside opening hours, go to a hospital emergency department if there is major swelling, fever or difficulty breathing or swallowing. For manageable pain, call us as soon as we open.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Often, if you act quickly: keep the tooth in milk (or, for an adult, in the mouth against the cheek) and see a dentist within the hour.
Does an abscess always need antibiotics?
Not always. The main treatment is dealing with the cause (the tooth or the gum). Only the dentist can decide whether an antibiotic is needed.
